We investigate the influence of the surface effects on a diffusive process by considering that the particles may be sorbed or desorbed or undergo a reaction process on the surface with the production of a different substance. Our analysis considers a semi-infinite medium, where the particles may diffuse in contact with a surface with active sites. For the surface effects, we consider integrodifferential boundary conditions coupled with a kinetic equation which takes non-Debye relation process into account, allowing the analysis of a broad class of processes. We also consider the presence of the fractional derivatives in the bulk equations. In this scenario, we obtain solutions for the particles in the bulk and on the surface.

In this study, an effort is made to model the thermal conduction and mass diffusion phenomena in perspective of Buongiorno’s model and Cattaneo-Christov theory for 2D flow of magnetized Burgers nanofluid due to stretching cylinder. Moreover, the impacts of Joule heating and heat source are also included to investigate the heat flow mechanism. Additionally, mass diffusion process in flow of nanofluid is examined by employing the influence of chemical reaction. Mathematical modelling of momentum, heat and mass diffusion equations is carried out in mathematical formulation section of the manuscript. Homotopy analysis method (HAM) in Wolfram Mathematica is utilized to analyze the effects of physical dimensionless constants on flow, temperature and solutal distributions of Burgers nanofluid. Graphical results are depicted and physically justified in results and discussion section. At the end of the manuscript the section of closing remarks is also included to highlight the main findings of this study. It is revealed that an escalation in thermal relaxation time constant leads to ascend the temperature curves of nanofluid. Additionally, depreciation is assessed in mass diffusion process due to escalating amount of thermophoretic force constant.
